Darina Smolkina
Portugal
In a world governed by rules—both written and unspoken—Darina Smolkina’s art whispers of quiet rebellion. Born in Kyiv, Ukraine, now based in Lisbon, she crafts paintings that feel like echoes of a theatrical performance, where characters linger in a suspended moment, caught between societal expectations and personal truths. Her work is a stage, and every canvas is a scene unfolding. Darina’s journey began in a traditional family, where expectations were clear—but her fascination with the surreal led her beyond the familiar. She started art school at six, mastering techniques that shaped her unique visual language. While studying graphic design in Kyiv, Darina found her true voice in painting — a space where boundaries blurred and deeper narratives emerged. At 19, she moved to Lisbon, an experience that shaped her perspective as an outsider navigating an unfamiliar world. Her art became a reflection of identity, isolation, and the quiet weight of societal expectations. From Schönhausen Palace Museum in Berlin to New York’s 17frost Gallery, her work speaks to a universal struggle — the tension between conformity and self-expression. Whether in the dreamlike haze of New Dream World or the raw intimacy of My First Diary, Darina’s paintings invite viewers to step into a moment of self-reflection, where emotions take form and meaning unfolds. Darina doesn’t just paint figures — she paints questions. Her art asks: Who are we, beyond the expectations placed upon us? What do we reveal, and what do we conceal? Her world is one where the symbolic and the surreal merge, reflecting not just her own journey, but the collective search for meaning in a world full of invisible walls.

Anna Kostritskaya
Ukraine
Anna Kostritskaya’s work carries an undeniable urgency, each brushstroke infused with a tension between fragility and defiance. Her art does more than depict; it preserves, resists, and remembers. Born in Ukraine, her creative journey has been deeply intertwined with the turbulence of her homeland. Since the full-scale war began, her work has taken on an even more urgent role, serving as a form of documentation, capturing emotions, losses, and the resilience of her people. Her paintings often feel like open wounds, yet within them lies tenderness, a refusal to let beauty be erased by destruction. Working across multiple mediums - painting, photography, and mixed media, Kostritskaya employs different artistic languages to express the unspeakable. In her portraits, faces emerge from the canvas like whispers, layered with texture, almost as if they are fighting to remain visible. There is a quiet intimacy in her work, a recognition of individual stories otherwise lost within the vastness of war. Much of her practice is rooted in the act of bearing witness. Her work explores displacement, identity, and the intersection of personal and collective history. Her photography, in particular, captures fleeting moments, glimpses of life that feel sacred in their ordinariness, a stark contrast to the overwhelming instability surrounding them. Her creative process is instinctual, driven by emotion rather than rigid intent. She has described it as work that decides its own path, rather than one that is meticulously planned. Yet, despite the weight of her subject matter, her art is about endurance. It embodies the human spirit’s refusal to be silenced. Beneath the layers of grief, there is strength. There is the unbreakable.

Nataliia Brichuk
Ukraine
Natasha Brichuk, known as Notuko, paints in the language of memory. Raised in Rivne, Ukraine, she grew up surrounded by the vivid patterns of embroidered tablecloths, the warmth of painted ceramics, and the quiet grandeur of old Ukrainian architecture. These objects weren’t just decoration—they were stories, passed down through generations, whispering of heritage, resilience, and identity. But tradition, as she saw it, was not static. It pulsed with life, adapting, shifting, existing between past and present. It is this in-between space that Notuko inhabits as an artist. She pursued decorative and applied arts, specialising in ceramics, but painting became her true medium for storytelling. What began as a simple fascination evolved into a bold artistic language - where folk motifs meet abstraction, where Byzantine echoes intertwine with modern fluidity. Her figures emerge as symbols rather than individuals, their forms at times dissolving into textured layers of colour, as if caught between reality and memory. Improvisation is at the heart of her process. She embraces instinct, letting her brushwork capture fleeting emotions and intangible histories. Her compositions often feel like fragments of a grander, unseen whole — inviting viewers to reconnect with traditions, not as relics, but as living, breathing experiences. Notuko’s works have traveled far beyond her hometown, exhibited across Ukraine, Europe, and the UK. Yet, her essence remains rooted in the stories of home — the unspoken ties between past generations and those still to come. Her art is a conversation between centuries, a delicate balance of structure and spontaneity, of inherited symbols and contemporary expression. To experience Notuko’s work is to step into a world where tradition doesn’t belong to the past—it evolves, just like us.

Artem Andreichuk
Ukraine
Tucked away in his studio, a space bursting with pigments and canvases in mid-creation, Artem Andreichuk welcomes visitors with the same vibrant energy that radiates from his work. The walls pulse with colour: lush, unapologetic, and raw. Here, the naked human form is not just a subject but a manifesto. Stripped of status, regalia, or pretence, his figures exist in perfect equilibrium with nature, unashamed, inviting, free. Artem’ journey as an artist is deeply tied to this pursuit of authenticity. Born in 1983, he has remained in Ukraine, shaping his artistic voice amid the ever-changing landscape of his homeland. His fascination with the human body is more than aesthetic—it’ philosophical. In a world layered with masks, he paints what remains when all is shed. Sensual yet unembellished, his figures embody a radical honesty, one that refuses to be confined. Yet, Andreichuk is not just about the body; he’ about the thrill of expression. On another wall, his minimalist works stand in stark contrast to the sensuality of his figurative pieces - youthful, witty, and exuding a rebellious charm. Layers of electrifying colours seem to wink at the viewer, as if daring them to embrace the absurdity and joy of existence. “ should be fun,” he says with a knowing smile, and his art ensures that it is. Beyond the canvas, Artem's creative spirit has always stretched into multiple realms. Music has been a lifelong companion, and as a former bassist for the indie band Blake Maloka, he has translated rhythm into brushstrokes, movement into stillness. His paintings, much like a well-played bass-line, carry an energy that hums beneath the surface; sometimes wild, sometimes restrained, but always present. To step into Artem Andreichuk’ world is to be reminded of life’ fundamental pleasures: skin meeting sun, laughter ringing through colour, rebellion found in joy. His work doesn’ just ask to be seen, it demands to be felt.
